That's so true. Sometimes we have to remember the little things that we liked about training when we started.

Thanks guys, glad you liked it. Sometimes we do get too serious about our training or diet and forget to enjoy the moment or pump. :)

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Arnold was probably at his heaviest for a contest for the 1968 Nabba Mr. Universe where he weighed 250 pounds onstage at 21 years old. However, he was way too smooth and lost to Frank Zane later that...

Glad I could help! I'm writing a new book now that details a new program I have for muscle mass and power. I'll be sure to announce it on this thread when it's ready.

That's great! I'm glad it worked for you. Keep us up to date on your progress leading up to the show!

BCAA and Glutamine before and after training,...

I was just doing my review on the movie itself. I heard reports about the real story before the movie opened but I was just looking at the movie itself. I don't think it was well done at all. If...
